top: anthropologie // jeans: dl1961 ’emma’ // sandals: valentino jelly flats (old, similar)

I just love how this top is so full of movement. Gingham is everywhere right now, and this top will be an easy transition piece going into fall. I wore it all summer over shorts, and am super excited to pair is this fall with jeans and boots.

if i were a millionaire

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9  // 10

you know, because only a millionaire would spend $1,600 on a bright neon yellow potato chip clutch. But you have to admit it, it is such a fun bag. On to more practical loves, I am really swooning over the Chloe ‘Marci’ mini crossbody bag in burgundy. Would be such a great bag for fall. I also love the Jennifer Fisher ‘Knot’ bracelet, and the little Stella McCartney PJ set. All super pricey items, but sometimes it’s just fun to pretend! 🙂

Here’s to hump day!

NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE

CLICK IMAGE ABOVE TO SHOP!

So I realize that I’m probably the last person on earth to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale but fortunately for me, I’m not too late! The sale ends tomorrow at Midnight (8/2), and there is still tons of great stuff! I picked some of my favorites and listed them above.

Let’s talk through some of the highlights!

  • I was seriously shocked by how soft this Topshop faux fur vest was — it felt like real fur (i swear!) & I didn’t even want t take it off. I see it being perfect for the fall + winter in so many ways. Since I already have a black fur vest, I was after the light brown version, which unfortunately was sold out in my size, but I’m thinking I will just wait and buy it full price (that should tell you how much I loved it!) On the hunt for a black fur vest? Lucky for you, the black is still totally in stock in all sizes!
  • I also tried on this hi-lo top and loved it so much I bought it in 5 other colors. I plan to wear these allllll fall + winter!
  • I also love the look of this 2-n-1 top — My first choice was sold out, so I ‘settled’ on the grey + checkered option and I love it just as much! So excited to pair it with jeans and boots this fall.
  • SK-II is the most incredible beauty brand, and their facial cleanser (purchased earlier this year) has changed my skin completely. They are packaging their bestsellers for the NSALE and its incredible deal! My bestie swears by their face masks (included in the set) and I’m excited to try!
  • These boots are such an incredible deal! And the colors are all great – my fav is the taupe color, but you can’t go wrong with any of them!
  • I bought the Dior Glow balm a while back, and I live for it. The texture glides right on, and it looks really pretty when I pull it out of my purse (sucker for packaging). When I saw the same balm but in a wine color – I was sold.
  • I have been wearing my trusty L.L.Bean boots for years, but these are a really cute update! I also love all the different colorways they are offering.
  • Last but not least, pictured above (top left), but not listed is this incredible berry hued leather jacket. I didn’t walk away with it (still out of my budget) but it was soooooo dreamy I had to share it with you guys. The leather is so buttery soft and it fit like a glove. Vince makes the best jackets — and one day, I will own one! 🙂

I had to include a few favorites at the bottom – everyone who follows me on Instagram knows I am obsessed with these gladiators. I have worn them nonstop since I bought them, and for the price ($69), I’ve found them to be worth every penny! Also love this bikini set — I never get sick of stripes, and to get both the top & bottom for $52 – it feels like a steal.

Have you shopped the #NSALE yet? Gotten anything good? Let me know in the comments! And feel free to shop my picks below (it’s not too late!)
